We had the good fortune of connecting with Supreme Understanding and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Supreme, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I wanted to change the world. I knew the stories I told could save lives, so I began writing a book. I was married then (I’m a widower now), and my incredible wife Mecca Wise encouraged me to self publish the book. So I started a publishing company and she became my business partner. We sold and shipped thousands of books around the world working together.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
As an author, we are more like creatives and artists than traditional business professionals. Thus it’s exceptionally helpful to have someone on your team who can handle administrative tasks and other professional responsibilities. Otherwise you may remain a starving artist! With the right support, you can succeed in amazing ways with the talent being properly managed.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would explore southwest Atlanta where you’ll find the heart of the Black community in Atlanta. We would explore the many Black owned vegan restaurants here, as well as a walk through Cascade Springs nature preserve to enjoy our local waterfall. Afterwards we could visit an event like the Vegan Social or Mocktails N Monologues or one of our gardening workshops.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Mecca Wise. She bought me a book on self publishing that gave me everything I needed to do things without outside help. Between the two of us, we did it all. She did amazing with customer service and ensuring everyone had a good experience ordering from us.
